EN(T) – Intuition

“As soon as you pick up a guitar, you’re up against the legends of rock.” — Matthew Bellamy

“Simulation Theory” is the eighth studio album by Muse, released in 2018. It features a mix of synth-pop, alternative rock, and electronic dance music.

Extraverted Intuition—EN(F) and EN(T)

• The primary function of intuition by itself is simply to transmit images, or perceptions of connections between things, which could not be transmitted by the other functions, or only in a very roundabout way.

• But just as extraverted sensing [EN and NP one-sidedness] strives to reach the highest pitch of actuality, so extraverted intuition tries to apprehend the widest range of possibilities.

• It seeks to discover what possibilities the objective situation holds in store. Every ordinary situation in life seems like a locked room, which extraverted intuition [EN and NP one-sidedness] must open.

“I’m too short to be sexy.” — Matthew Bellamy

“Drones” is the seventh studio album by Muse, released in 2015. It is a concept album that tells the story of a soldier’s journey from recruitment to indoctrination and eventual rebellion against the military-industrial complex.

Introverted Thinking—IT and TP one-sidedness

• Its desire is to reach reality and to see how external facts fit into the framework of this idea. This thinking creates an idea that, though not present in the external facts, is the most abstract, theoretical expression of the external facts.
• The Introverted Thinking [IT and TP one-sidedness] shows a dangerous tendency to force facts into the shape of the idea, or even ignore them altogether. The Introverted Thinking [IT and TP one-sidedness] restrict themselves to a critique of knowledge in general.

Extraverted Thinking—ET and TJ one-sidedness

• When Extraverted Thinking [the ET and TJ one-sidedness], all that which concerns feeling will become repressed in this type, for instance, aesthetic activities, taste, artistic sense, the art of friendship, etc.

„Offending people is better than no reaction at all.“ — Matthew Bellamy

THE MOTIVATOR

They are goal and bottom line oriented and can be very forceful in promoting their ideas. They want to be in charge because of confidence in their ability to make decisions. They have boundless energy and need activity and results or they become bored.

„Being an atheist means you have to realise that when you die, that really is it. You’ve got to make the most of what you’ve got here and spread as much influence as you can. I believe that you only live through the influence that you spread, whether that means having a kid or making music.“ — Matthew Bellamy
